Fairy Tail: I Don’t Want to Be the President

Chapter 82 The strongest newcomer is very busy

"President." Mira handed over a towel.

Makarov waved his hand: "No, it's been wiped clean."

Rhodes tugged at his clothes: "Are you polite?"

Makarov was very happy that he did not have to write a second review: "Hahaha, don't worry about this little thing."

Mira reminded: "But President, you have something written on your face."

"Yes." Rhodes didn't pay attention just now, but now he saw it and said with difficulty, "Begging, inspecting?"

The words are backwards and hard to read.

"Ah, I accidentally fell asleep while writing the review!" Makarov was not embarrassed at all and took the towel to wipe his face naturally.

"By the way, Rhodes, just go out with me. The antidote, Polyusica, has been prepared."

"Okay!" Rhodes was very happy. With the antidote, he could summon the Demon Swamp Frog with peace of mind, and the safety factor was improved again.

Of course, you have to go home and change clothes before going.

On the way back, Rod bought a copy of "Sosara".

He didn't have enough coffee spots and didn't even have a sample magazine, unlike Mira, who sent it to his home every time.

There is no supplement for the 15th anniversary special issue, but it is thicker than usual. It is rare that the cover does not contain a portrait of the wizard, but a carefully designed congratulatory picture.

Rod flipped through it, and people who participated in the performance, including Mira and Jenny, had separate pages.

And 'Fairy Tail's Strongest Newcomer' only occupies a column in the very back corner.

And it only showed a photo of him and the river crab, not a single photo.

"Looking at it from this perspective, He Crab is really domineering. Mr. Raper Tell is a talent in taking pictures."

There were not many distortions or modifications in the content of the interview, and I only added a few words about looking forward to Rhodes's active performance in the future.

Because it was just afternoon, Goodman had not yet closed the stall: "Isn't this Rod? I haven't seen him in a few days?"

"Brother Goodman, I had a mission a few days ago and it took a little time."

"Oh~Have you finally become an official mage who can act alone? Amazing!"

Goodman had always heard Rhodes say that he was a trainee wizard.

"Haha, let's count it as half."

Because he may have to practice hard for a while.

The house is still the same as before, but it feels a bit strange since there has been no ventilation for a few days. I don't know if it's a psychological effect.

Rhodes opened the window, watered some potted plants, came back and punched the sandbag twice, and then went to change clothes.

The house feels like it needs to be cleaned, it will be very busy in the evening.

…

Walking on the street with Makarov is quite eye-catching. The Holy Ten Magicians, one of the ten most outstanding magicians in the entire continent, have a very famous reputation.

People who are not familiar with him should use the honorific title "Your Excellency" when talking to him.

Of course, to the residents of Magnolia, Makarov was far more affectionate than majestic.

After all, he was just as noisy as Natsu and the others when he was young.

Having benefited from the president, the residents are quite friendly towards him. In fact, if he rides on the river crab, he may become the president and take advantage of him.

After leaving the town, Rhodes hesitated for a while and finally asked: "President, is there any magic in the world that can resurrect people?"

Makarov turned his head and stared at him: "Why do you ask such a thing?"

"I heard about Lisanna a few days ago. Both Mira and Elfman were deeply affected by this incident. I thought if there was magic that could revive Lisanna..."

This word may not be the right word to describe it, but it is indeed a way to fundamentally eliminate the inner pain of Mira and Elfman. "Don't pursue that kind of thing!" Makarov's tone was a bit harsh, "The weight of life is incomparable, and desecrating life is taboo!

Not only is it legally taboo, the study of magic to resurrect the dead itself is taboo. That will sink you into an abyss of no return. "

Rhodes rarely saw such a serious expression on the president's face, so he could only nod his head to show that he remembered.

But Makarov is still uneasy. Although Rhodes is stable, he has just stepped into the magic path not long ago and may not understand the seriousness of the problem [Note ①].

And it might be even more terrifying for a stable person to go crazy.

Makarov said: "I have heard rumors that someone lost a loved one and kept studying the magic of resurrection, and ended up touching the taboo of life.

So that man was cursed by the **** Anxeram, and everyone he loved would die. "

"God?" Rhodes asked, "Does God exist?"

"Of course, Anxeram, the **** who controls life and death, and Chronos, the **** of time, are both recorded in the world." The president said,

"But no one knows what kind of existence they are, and as long as no one touches the taboo, they will not take the initiative to perform miracles."

Rhodes frowned. Even if there were dragons and demons, there were even gods. The water in this world seemed a bit deep.

But according to the general formula, God should be some kind of powerful creature, right?

There's no point in thinking about it, I can't afford to offend him anyway.

Listening to the president's words, Rhodes felt that his magic knowledge was not enough and he had to continue reading.

Seeing that Rhodes seemed to have listened, Makarov breathed a sigh of relief and then brought the topic back:

"The thing about Lisanna...that was her own choice. She stood in front of her sister and took the blow.

She protected Mira and awakened the mad Elfman. Between life and her family, she chose to protect her family.

I am saddened by the loss of my child and proud of Lisanna, the child I was so proud of.

If possible, I would be willing to exchange with her, but I would never study forbidden magic, because that would not only bring danger to myself, but also bring disaster to the guild. "

You just said that the weight of life is unparalleled, and now you say that you are willing to trade your own life for someone else's?

Rhodes asked himself, who would he be willing to fight for now?

No, before considering fighting for your life, what you should consider at this stage is getting stronger. There is no point in fighting if your strength cannot keep up.

"President, I want to learn to receive magic."

"?"

This kid was talking about resurrection magic just now, and now he's talking about receiving magic. How did his train of thought get here?

"Why do you suddenly want to learn this?"

"Because during this mission..."

Rhodes told the reason, and Makarov said:

"Are you worried about your own safety when summoning wild monsters to fight? In fact, there is no need."

"Why?"

"Because the fastest way to solve this problem has already been tried." Makarov said,

“Everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at. Wouldn’t it be better to leave the things you don’t do well to your peers?

Teaming up with companions is the fastest way, faster than learning any magic. "

"That's what I say, but even companions can't stick together 24 hours a day." Rhodes said, "You must master some self-defense magic."

"..." Makarov felt the difference between Rhodes' and his own thinking.

Why should you consider this? Even if someone knows the magic of self-defense, can anyone be vigilant 24 hours a day?

This kid Rhodes...

"Forget it, if you want to learn, you can give it a try, but..."

Makarov thought about Rhodes' personality and asked, "You should also understand the risks of receiving magic, right?"

Rhodes nodded: "Little by little, I will check more information before starting to practice. I will never rush into anything."

Makarov nodded with satisfaction. He was reassured by this. This was a good boy who even summoned Poro wanted to ask him to watch and avoid risks.

But he soon became entangled again. Is this personality good or bad?

①The Demonic Way: In Fairy Tail, the Demonic Way refers to the ‘path of magic’, not the ‘bewitched’ in our martial arts and fairy novels.
